About this Spot

Park Beach is a surf spot located in Tasmania, Australia. This beach is known for its sandy bottom and provides both left and right waves, making it suitable for surfers of all levels. The waves here break best during low and medium tides and have a regular frequency with a wave length of less than 50 meters. The beach is not typically crowded, offering a relaxed surfing experience with a friendly local crew. It’s a great spot for learners, with a surf school available for those looking to improve their skills. The crumbly long peak is perfect for beginners to practice climbing slowly to their feet. Park Beach is also a family-friendly location, ideal for bringing the kids along with a longboard and picnic hamper. The clean environment provides a beautiful backdrop, with views of the sunset over Mt Wellington from the water. Located near the small town of Dodges Ferry, Park Beach is about a 35-minute drive from Hobart. To reach the beach, follow the main road (Carlton Beach Rd) until you see Park Beach Rd, then turn right. It’s important to check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots and to assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
